Cartridge Development

StarFish design engineers have been involved in the development of laboratory IVD instrumentation, including: photometric, amperometric, fluorescent and chemiluminescent clinical and immunoassay analyzers, immunoassay washers and liquid handling devices, microfluidic POC cartridges, sample preparation & input devices, cell lysis, magnetic bead handling, precision thermal control, high speed PCR amplification, mass spectrometry ion sources & consumables, and lateral flow test strips. These projects often require a feasibility and proof of concept ‘Phase 0’, which StarFish’s in-house resources are well equipped to handle.
